Jio phone is all set to come in the market as Reliance will start bookings for Jio Phone in less than 4 days from now. The phone will be given on the ‘first come, first serve basis’. Jio has launched a form for online registration. People who are interested in buying Jio Phone can now register online on Jio’s official website. Jio Phone, targeted at 50 crore feature phone users in the country, will be available for pre-booking from August 24 on payment of a refundable security deposit of Rs 1,500. This deposit will be refunded after 36 months on the return of the phone and this is how the price of the phone will be effectively zero. The Jio Phone’s user testing in beta mode began on August 15. Reliance Jio, the fourth-generation telecom arm of Reliance Industries, will provide unlimited data on the phone for Rs 153 per month.
